There is nothing more frustrating than trying to get to work on time and having your car not start. And, if it is your battery, you really won’t be going anywhere! Since your battery is the sole source in initial power to get the engine turned over, when it doesn’t have enough charge, you are really stuck. Here are some tips from the auto technicians at the Brunswick Rad Air Complete Car Care & Tire Center that will tell you when you might need a new battery.

Have you been out in the cold? If your car sits outside during the winter, then you may need a new battery sooner than other vehicles might. Frigid temperatures can drain your battery after a couple of seasons. By purchasing a heavy-duty battery, you may have a longer lasting charge.

A three to five year life. Mechanics at the Rad Air Complete Car Care & Tire Center in Brunswick believe that most batteries will last from three to five years.

Driving keeps your battery charged. If you haven’t driven your car for a while, then you may have a low charge on your battery. While your battery provides the initial power to start the car, as your car is driven, it recoups the power and recharges itself from power generated by the engine.

Get your battery tested. When you are concerned about the quality of your battery, just stop in at the Brunswick Rad Air Complete Car Care & Tire Center. Our car care specialists can quickly attach it to a battery testing meter and see if your charge is just fine or if it is low.

Don’t take a chance on being stranded. A new battery takes just moments to install and can keep you going for the long haul. Stop in at the Brunswick Rad Air Complete Car Care & Tire Center and let our qualified car care team help you check the charge and choose a new battery.
